European Legless Lizard. Sheltopusik, Ophisaurus apodus. (Not a Snake)
Legless lizard are some of the most interesting reptiles out there in my opinion. This is a European Legless Lizard, but have a species of legless lizard in our state.
Appearance: European Legless Lizards have a long, slender body that resembles that of a snake, which has led to some confusion between the two. However, they can be distinguished by their eyelids, external ear openings, and movable jaws, which snakes lack. Their coloration is typically brown or gray, often with darker markings.
Absence of limbs: As their common name suggests, European Legless Lizards lack limbs. Instead, they have a streamlined body adapted for burrowing and moving through the soil.
Habitat: These lizards are primarily found in open woodlands, grasslands, meadows, and agricultural areas with loose, sandy soil, which facilitates their burrowing lifestyle.
Diet: European Legless Lizards are carnivorous and primarily feed on insects, spiders, earthworms, and other small invertebrates. They are adept hunters, using their keen senses to locate prey underground.
Behavior: These lizards are primarily fossorial, spending much of their time burrowing underground or hiding beneath leaf litter or other debris. They are most active during the warmer months, emerging to forage for food and bask in the sun.
Reproduction: European Legless Lizards are oviparous, meaning they lay eggs. Breeding typically occurs in the spring, with females laying clutches of eggs in underground nests. The exact number of eggs laid can vary but is usually between 6 and 12.
Conservation status: While not considered globally threatened, European Legless Lizards may face localized threats due to habitat loss, agricultural intensification, and fragmentation. However, they are adaptable species and can often persist in human-modified landscapes.

Baby Eurasian Collared Dove Every Day, From Egg to Leaving The Nest
It was interesting watching this collared dove grow up for the day it hatched until it left the nest.
Eurasian collared doves, scientifically known as Streptopelia decaocto, are medium-sized doves native to Europe and Asia. However, they have also successfully established populations in other parts of the world, including North America, where they are often simply referred to as "collared doves."
Appearance: Eurasian collared doves have a distinctive appearance with a pale gray to light brown plumage. They have a black collar on the back of their necks, which gives them their name. Their tails are long and squared off at the tip. They have bright red eyes and a small black bill.
Habitat: Originally native to scrublands, open woodlands, and urban areas of Europe and Asia, Eurasian collared doves have adapted well to urban and suburban environments. They are often found near human habitation, including parks, gardens, and agricultural areas.
Behavior: These doves are often seen in pairs or small groups, but they can form larger flocks, especially around food sources. They are relatively docile birds and are known for their gentle cooing calls, which are often heard in the early morning or evening.
Diet: Eurasian collared doves primarily feed on seeds, grains, and fruits. They are ground feeders and can often be seen foraging on the ground for food.
Breeding: They are prolific breeders, with the ability to breed throughout the year in suitable climates. They build simple nests made of twigs and grasses in trees, shrubs, or on man-made structures like buildings or utility poles. A typical clutch consists of two white eggs, and both parents share the responsibilities of incubating the eggs and raising the young.
Invasive Species: Eurasian collared doves have been introduced to many parts of the world, including North America, where they have become established and, in some areas, invasive. Their rapid population growth and ability to adapt to a wide range of habitats have led to concerns about their impact on native bird species and ecosystems.

What a Bumble Bee Sounds Like When It Takes Off
If you stand close enough to a Bumble Bee when it takes off, you can actually hear it's wings.
Appearance: Bumblebees are typically robust insects with rounded bodies covered in dense hair, which gives them a fuzzy appearance. They're often recognized by their black and yellow striped patterns, although some species may have orange or red markings instead of yellow.
Social Structure: Bumblebees are social insects, living in colonies typically consisting of a single queen, workers (females), and drones (males). The queen is responsible for reproduction, while workers gather food, care for the young, and maintain the nest. Drones mate with the queen, and their primary purpose is to fertilize new queens.
Life Cycle: Bumblebee colonies start in the spring when a mated queen emerges from hibernation. She establishes a nest, lays eggs, and raises the first brood of workers. As the colony grows, additional workers are produced. Towards the end of the season, the queen produces new queens and drones, which mate before the colony declines and the founding queen dies.
Pollination: Bumblebees are crucial pollinators, playing a significant role in the reproduction of many flowering plants, including numerous agricultural crops. They have specialized structures, such as long tongues and dense body hair, which enable them to efficiently collect and transfer pollen as they forage for nectar.
Behavior: Bumblebees are known for their distinctive buzzing sound as they fly, produced by the rapid beating of their wings. They are relatively docile compared to some other stinging insects, but they will defend their nests if they perceive a threat. However, they are not as aggressive as honeybees and typically only sting in self-defense.
Habitat and Distribution: Bumblebees are found primarily in temperate regions of the northern hemisphere, although some species inhabit higher elevations in tropical regions. They occupy a range of habitats, including meadows, forests, gardens, and agricultural landscapes.
Conservation: Like many pollinators, bumblebee populations face various threats, including habitat loss, pesticide use, climate change, and diseases. Conservation efforts aimed at protecting bumblebees and their habitats are essential for maintaining healthy ecosystems and ensuring the continued pollination of crops and wild plants.

What Freshly Dug Peanuts Look like - Still On The Plants
Lots of people don't really know where peanuts come from. They actually grow underground.
Planting: Peanuts are typically planted in warm climates, preferably in sandy, well-drained soil. The seeds are planted about 1 to 2 inches deep and spaced several inches apart in rows.
Growth Stages: The peanut plant goes through several growth stages. It starts with seed germination, then develops into a vegetative stage where it grows leaves and stems. After about 40 to 50 days, the plant starts flowering.
Flowering: Peanuts produce bright yellow flowers, which self-pollinate. After pollination, the flowers wither, and a small peg forms at the base of the flower.
Peg Development: The peg, also known as the "pegging stage," is a unique characteristic of the peanut plant. It elongates and starts growing downwards, eventually penetrating the soil.
Peanut Formation: Once the peg penetrates the soil, it forms a structure called a "peg tip," which enlarges and develops into a pod. As the pod matures, it fills with developing peanuts.
Underground Growth: The pod, containing the developing peanuts, continues to grow underground. It's important for the soil to be loose and well-drained to allow the peanuts to develop properly without being hindered by obstacles in the soil.
Harvesting: Peanuts are typically ready for harvest about 120 to 150 days after planting, depending on the variety and growing conditions. Harvesting involves uprooting the entire plant and shaking off excess soil. The pods are then allowed to dry either in the field or in a drying facility.
Processing: Once dried, the peanuts are separated from the vines and cleaned. They can be consumed as raw peanuts or further processed into various products like peanut butter, oil, or roasted peanuts.
The underground growth of peanuts is an adaptation that protects the developing pods from environmental factors and pests, ensuring the successful production of the crop.
